      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      2 c  Vodka                               5    Vanilla beans; cut in 1" pcs 
  
    Combine vodka and vanilla beans in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover 
  the jar and let it stand 6 to 8 weeks. (The vodka mixture will turn amber 
  colored after a day or two.) 
    After half the vanilla extract is used, add more vodka to cover the 
  beans.  The flavor in the beans is gone when the vodka no longer turns to a 
  dark color. Yield: 2 cups.
